July 27, 2020
Manchester United and Chelsea football clubs sealed the Champions League places on Sunday as Bournemouth and Watford fell on a dramatic final day of the longest Premier League season.
Liverpool were crowned champions last month but there were many issues at stake in the final 90 minutes of a campaign that started on 9 August last year and was interrupted by a three-month coronavirus shutdown.
United finished third after a nervy 2-0 win in a Champions League shootout against Leicester while Chelsea ended in fourth spot after beating Wolves 2-0 thanks to two goals on the stroke of half time.
At the other end of the table, Bournemouth and Watford dropped to the Championship while Aston Villa fans breathed a huge sigh of relief after they got the draw they needed at West Ham.
Leicester, in fifth spot, will play in the Europa League next season where they will be joined by Tottenham, who drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace to leapfrog Wolves.
Frank Lampard’s Chelsea required just a draw to seal Champions League qualification for next term and two goals in first-half stoppage time gave them breathing space.

September 23, 2019
Super Eagles B team head coach Imama Amapakabo is not losing sleep after his team lost 4-1 in the first leg of the African Nations Championship CHAN 2020 Qualifiers against the Sparrow Hawks of Togo in Lome on Sunday.
NPFL joint top scorer Sunusi Ibrahim gave Nigeria the lead in the 8th minute before the Togolese trio of Richard Nane (16′ and 67′); Tchakei Marouf (75′); and Agoro Ashraf (90+2′) rallied back to win the encounter
4-1.
Amapakabo in a post match interview said contrary to media speculations, he side did not underestimate their opponents.
“No, we never underrated our opponents. That would have been a foolish thing to do in football.
The truth is that we fielded mainly a young team that could not really live up to expectations technically compared to the senior players in the Togolese side who have gained experience over the years.
“However, we have taken this as a learning curve moving forward and awaiting the return match.”
He remains confident that the situation is still redeemable.
“It is wrong to think that this match would determine which team goes through. We know there is a second match and no two games can ever be the same. From now until October 19, it is still quite some time away to make amends and produce the right form for the work ahead. It is after the match in Nigeria that it can become clear who qualifies,” he said

Painfully, this is coming as the current regime has, in the last eight years, increased electricity tariff by over 168 per cent, with billing jumping from an average of N23.5 a kilowatt-hour in 2015 to N63 kWh as of January this year.
Notwithstanding the high cost of electricity, supply gaps remain huge with many Nigerians paying estimated bills for unavailable electricity and further depending on generating sets for household and commercial supply.
Indeed, amidst high electricity theft, estimated billing and a worsening financial crisis in the power sector, about nine agencies and ministries of the Federal Government owe the
distribution companies about N75 billion accumulated between 2015 and 2020.

establishment of the commission with education stakeholders in
Southwest states in Akure, lamented that putting many items in the

sustainable true federalism.
The governor identified over-centralisation of structures of governance
